Clitheroe 2016 - Permaculture Design course (PRI certificated)

We are running another full permaculture design course in Clitheroe this year. The course is the usual Northern School offering, certificated internationally by the Permaculture Research Institute, and we are making every effort to keep the fees as low as possible. We will achieve this partly through private sponsorship, and partly though asking participants to co-operate with the staging of the course, for example, by bringing food to share for lunch.
 

The course is designed for people who are busy with work and community projects, and those with family commitments, so it will be held over 12 Sundays, one per month. We started on Sunday 21st August 2016, but there are still a limited number of places available and you may join us on Sunday 18th September.  A full list of dates is given below. This course is also open on a modular basis. 

The venue is Hoody Marvelous in Clitheroe town centre.

The course is open to all, regardless of any previous experience or literacy levels. We will follow the international guidelines to cover the course syllabus in full. The content and teaching style is aimed at those wishing to apply permaculture in urban and sub-urban settings, as well as those in rural locations. The course content has a wide and flexible application, not only for home and garden design, but also for those wishing to apply the permaculture design techniques within their business or career. We aim to provide you with the tools to enhance and facilitate community-based projects of all kinds, including Transition Towns and Incredible Edible initiatives. Many of our students go on to set up permaculture-inspired initiatives of their own. You can read more about people who will benefit from the course.

The course will be led by Angus Soutar. Angus has rich experience of guiding and implementing permaculture design in a variety of commercial settings. He is keen to share this growing body of knowledge during, and after, the life of this course. This will be the third design course that Angus has run in Clitheroe, the first two proved very successful with local people.
